John 0'Donnell's Brave Act.

Tuesday afternoon two lads of the
name of Hall, aged and years, respec-
lively, went i'll bathing at the foot OF
Iatnall street. There is deep hole
there that the boys did not know of.
John ODonnell,a lai Of Is years of age,
was also there. He saw the boys and
thought they looked as if they were in
distress. lie Immediately plunged into
the water and swan out, reaching them
just as they were sinking from exhaus-
ton. He managed to get the boy sup
ported on his shoulder, and giving IL
hand to the other, propelled himself
with his free hand to the bank, which
fortunately was only few feet of. His
job was not over then The lads were
semi-unconscious needed rubbing and
shaking which was mucuarly admins
tered by their sturdy and heroic rescuer.
Strange to say us soon us the lads recov-
cred they slouched off home without a
word of thanks to their rescuer.-Ecery

Is 1t Right ?

At this time of the year this section of
the country is Hooded or in other words
full of tramps. From where they come
and where they go we do not know, but
they are blisters upon the face of the
earth Children look at them with
frightened eyes, and the good house
wife swiftly locks and bolts doors when
they approach They will not work, yet
they beg with persstcncy that tends to
he systematic. Now should this horde
of Migrants be fed? They refuse work
and wander about from town to town
and beg of Woodworking people. They
should not be fed. Yet there are plenty
of good people take pity ON these pitt
less, worthless creatures and feed them.
You cannot stop sympathetic people
from feeding tramps, and until you do,
there will be tramps
